Happiness held is the seed; happiness shared is the flower
On 11 December 2009, Nicky and Albe celebrated their beautiful wedding in Cape Town.
Determined to ‘give something back’ and mark the occasion in a special way, they chose a cause close to their hearts and encouraged friends to help them raise funds in lieu of receiving traditional wedding gifts. Through this selfless gesture and the generosity of their friends, they raised a substantial sum of money for DARG which will be used for animal medical care as well as food and sterilizations at the rescue centre.
Nicky and Albe, from all your furry (and human) friends at DARG in Hout Bay, thank you so much.
We wish you a lifetime of happiness together!

Odie and Scamper would PREFER to find a home together as they are rather good buddies. They cannot be left alone during the day and will need some basic training.

Well, everyone tells you that babies take up a lot of one’s time, but somehow it’s easy to underestimate the impact they’ll have on you until you get one of your own.
Suffice it to say, I’ve been rushed off my feet over the last few weeks, learning the parenting ropes. We have a beautiful baby boy, and are finally getting back in to some semblance of normality.
